GZR at Art Beat 

The Seattle Office of Arts & Culture is partnering with Ground Zero Radio (GZ Radio) to expand and support youth-led artistic programming. GZ Radio is youth-led, building community relationships and executing career-connected learning programs that empower youth to take ownership of their futures. GZ Radio youth create original content from podcasts to documentaries, Live-in studio recording sessions, In-studio interviews, and event coverage with content rooted in their community. GZ Radio also consists of a youth-driven Newsroom that allows for journalism and in-field reporting for both written and visual formats. ARTS supports and uplifts youth voices in media to empower students while fostering future writers and content creators. 

Take a peek at some of their recent arts coverage and updates below:

“Inside the heart of the Washington State Capitol building in Olympia, a sea of students in bright-orange shirts filled the Columbia Room. These students, representing different schools from all over Seattle, were getting ready to walk over to the steps of the Capitol to demand one thing: the end of gun violence in their communities.”

The Hidden Wonders of LAIKA’s “Hidden Worlds” 

A review of Hidden Worlds: The Films of LAIKA at Museum of Pop Culture 
By Teen Writer Raika Roy Choudhury 

Coraline’s Other World House Exterior, Coraline (2009). Photo credit: Joseph Bondi.

“MoPOP’s Hidden Worlds serves as a wonderful introduction to stop motion and other creative processes in the popular animation studio LAIKA’s films. LAIKA is an Oregon-based studio behind the famous films Coraline, ParaNorman, Kubo and the Two Strings, Missing Link, and BoxTrolls, all of which were nominated for Oscars and PGA Awards. Beyond their critical acclaim, LAIKA is also known for specializing in standalone films and bringing hand-curated artistry back into our increasingly digital media space. Their films are bold and distinctive whilst also aesthetic and thought-provoking, widening the appreciation for animation. It only makes sense for this accomplished studio to be celebrated with a museum exhibit.”

A Swamp-Sculpted Gallery 

A review of Thick as Mud at Henry Art Gallery 
By Teen Writer Daphne Bunker   

Candice Lin, Swamp Fat [detail], 2021. Scagliola, ceramic, clay, earth, mortar, lard infused with custom scent. Courtesy of the artist and François Ghebaly Gallery. Commissioned by Prospect New Orleans for P.5. Installation view of Thick as Mud, 2023, Henry Art Gallery, University of Washington, Seattle. Photo: Jonathan Vanderweit, courtesy of the Henry. 

“The first room of Thick as Mud at the Henry Art Gallery, bathed in terracotta-tinged light, is unfurnished except for its display: snakeskin latticework stretched over two picnic chairs. Rain sounds splatter from speakers in the ceiling, and occasional thunderclaps echo. The descriptions on the wall label the chairs as Sitting Shiva and the overhead audio as Tropical Storm, both by artist Sasha Wortzel. Sitting Shiva is Wortzel’s meditation on endings and beginnings in the South Florida Everglades, where the invasive Baurmese Python has devastated local populations, and the installation sets the tone for the exhibit, establishing a pattern of thoughtful examination of historical and environmental themes conveyed through intricate artistic techniques.”

“Fires of Varanasi: Dance of the Eternal Pilgrim”: Through the Eyes of an Inexperienced Viewer 

A review of Ragamala Dance Company at the Meany Center for the Performing Arts 
By Teen Writer Josephine Bishop

“The curtain rose to reveal an unlit stage. Fifteen bells hung at varied lengths from the ceiling, and three shallow pools of water were dispersed, mimicking the famous Ganges River. A dancer silently pushed out candles into the water, unhurriedly lighting the stage with a serene atmosphere. This opening set the mood for Ragamala Dance Company’s phenomenal performance.”

“Sámi Film Festival”: An Exploration of the Sámi Female Experience 

A review of Sámi Film Festival at National Nordic Museum 
By Teen Writer Olivia Lee

“The Sámi Film Festival is an exciting showcase of female-focused films at the Seattle Nordic Museum. As this is TeenTix’s first act of new partnership with the Seattle Nordic Museum, this is a very special event! Honoring the work of Sámi female directors, the films reflect on difficult topics like sexual assault and violence against Indigenous women. Through an intriguing selection of nine documentary and fictional films, there is definitely something for everyone to enjoy at the Sámi Film Festival.”

“A Thousand Splendid Suns” Shines at Seattle Opera 

A review of A Thousand Splendid Suns at Seattle Opera 
By Teen Writer Olivia Qi 

The Seattle Opera’s production of A Thousand Splendid Suns, photo by Sunny Martini 

“A pressing story of love during harsh times, A Thousand Splendid Suns is finally ready for its world premiere at Seattle Opera. The work, commissioned by Seattle Opera in 2015, is written by Seattle-born composer Sheila Silver and librettist Stephen Kitsakos. Based on Khaled Hosseini’s book of the same name, the opera is an epic tale set in Afghanistan from 1974 to 2001. Suns is unforgettably intense, a gripping story brought to life by heart-wrenching music.”

“Metamorphoses”: An Endless Battle for Justice 

A review of Metamorphoses at Seattle Repertory Theatre 
Written by Teen Writer Elle Vonada 

Nike Imoru, Meme García, and Kjerstine Rose Anderson in Metamorphoses (2023) at Seattle Rep. Photo by Nate Watters. 

“Before one’s eyes, actors morph into polarizing characters written by an ancient Roman author. Seattle Rep’s compelling performance of Metamorphoses brings Ovid’s stories into the 21st century, giving reason to why humanity has chosen to preserve his literature. The production’s impact is enhanced by expert stagecraft, made most powerful because of how the 2,000-year-old fiction remains relevant to modern society. One would expect humanity to have evolved somewhat in the years since then, but this show reveals that the more things change, the more they remain the same.”

Theatre Education in Seattle Public Schools

by 4 Comments

by Tina LaPadula, Arts Education Project Manager

Fresh off of mid-winter break, the Seattle Theatre Education Coalition (STEC) hit the ground running with a summit at the Langston Hughes Performing Arts Institute to shine a light on theatre education in Seattle Public Schools (SPS).

As part of The Creative Advantage, STEC is comprised of SPS’ Visual & Performing Arts Program, Seattle Office of Arts & Culture, theatre teachers, and local theatre companies including the 5th Avenue Theatre, Intiman Theatre with South End Stories, Seattle Children’s Theatre, and Seattle Rep. Together, STEC strives to build theatre programs and opportunities for SPS youth.

At the summit, STEC reviewed data, discussed programs and partnerships, and began to envision what theatre education could look like five years from now. Out of this will come professional development led by the four theatre companies that will be open to any theatre educator across Washington state, more summits to bring in more perspectives, and a plan for the future.

This work is supported by the Seattle Office of Arts & Culture and the Arts Department at the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction with the goal of sharing with other school districts across the state.

Sticky notes on a wall clustered under the prompt "What's the reason for the existence of theatre in our schools and in our society?
Close up of some of the sticky notes: A safe space to fail/grow. To teach connection. To learn to be better humans. Truth and beauty. To change or challenge the status quo. A place for students to explore/experience empathy.

モザイク・コラージュとデジタルメディアを探求する2つの新展覧会がARTS at King Street Stationで開催中

Happy Room — Mosaic Collage  

digital indigiqueer: a showcase of trans transmedia 

February 2 – April 6, 2023 

digital indigiqueer features projected films and virtual reality videos alongside artifacts and 2-D works. Happy Room is a collection of 50 small, mid-, and large-scale works that evoke a sense of joy and draw from the Hygge lifestyle.

Two new exhibitions Happy Room — Mosaic Collage and digital indigiqueer: a showcase of trans transmedia will be on view at the Office of Arts & Culture’s ARTS at King Street Station gallery, February 2 through April 6, 2023.

Happy Room — Mosaic Collage features everyday objects through the artistry and colorful lens of artist Naoko Morisawa. Juxtaposed with Morisawa’s mosaic collages is a collection of multi-media artworks from five multi-disciplinary, award-winning Indigenous artists in digital indigiqueer: a showcase of trans transmedia. 

“Both Happy Room and digital indigiqueer illustrate the power of artists telling their histories and illuminating the magic inherent in our everyday lives. ARTS at King Street Station is proud to provide a platform for artists to engage the public in a showcase of their incredible talents.”

Happy Room — Mosaic Collage 
Naoko Morisawa/ Morisawa Studio 

Specializing in intricate natural and oil-dyed wooden and paper mosaics, artist Naoko Morisawa invites viewers to experience Happy Room — Mosaic Collage, a collection of over 50 small, mid, and large-scale works that evoke a sense of joy and draw from the Hygge lifestyle. The installation is divided into four rooms, Shoes/Closet, Kitchen/Living Room, Theater Japonism/Living Room, and Heart Room. Each piece and room transforms everyday objects like a dependable pair of shoes or a pastry from a café into ornate, dynamic mosaics that invite viewers to find beauty in the details. Happy Room – Mosaic Collage features pieces from various bodies of work from the past 15 years including pieces from My Collection Shoes, Mosaic Café, Japanese Opera – Noh Mask, and newer abstract works. 

“With these works I tried to bring to life the material properties of wood and paper as much as possible. I think that mixing two (or more) materials on one panel will make each other more complicated and increase their presence and statement.” 

Naoko Morisawa

Born and raised in Tokyo, Japan, Naoko Morisawa studied design and ceramics at Tama Art University, one of the major art schools in Japan. Her work spans from art exhibitions, commercial design projects, and teaching art classes in Tokyo, Yokohama, and the Canadian Embassy. 

In 2004, Naoko moved to the Pacific Northwest where she explored exhibition opportunities starting from small exhibition spaces which then grew into national and international exhibitions. Morisawa has exhibited her work throughout the US and internationally in Canada, Japan, and Ireland. Her work has also been collected by and displayed at various entities including the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, City of Portland, City of Seattle, City of Bellevue, Kent, Shoreline, Seattle Convention Center Summit Building, ArtsWA,  Amazon, General Electric, Nordstrom, and Facebook. Morisawa has been awarded artist grants from the Puffin Foundation, The Santo Foundation, Artist Trust, and more. Naoko Morisawa’s abstract artwork is represented by Traver Gallery, Seattle.

Their artistic practice is grounded in contemporary Hawaiian art, disability justice, and Indigenous community care. Following their māhū and Indigiqueer ancestors, Raven’s art is aloha ʻāina and a way of building kinship-oriented, decolonial futures. Raven is pursuing an MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts with a concentration in Decolonial Arts Praxis.

Taylor is a CHamoru, Cherokee, and Japanese musician. He has been a bassoonist for over 15 years.

Raven and Taylor were born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, and hold bachelor’s degrees in psychology from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.

Originally from New Mexico, they spent their childhood moving and exploring Indigenous cultures across the continent and Pacific. They returned to New Mexico to attend Santa Fe University of Art & Design, graduating magna cum laude with a BFA in Film Production. After graduation, their path led them to working on and creating more Indigenous art than ever and things began to feel right.

Seattle Public Schools (SPS) in partnership with the Office of Arts & Culture (ARTS) is expanding The Creative Advantage program into the Whitman K-12 Pathway, which includes nine neighborhood schools. 

  • Adams Elementary 
  • Loyal Heights Elementary 
  • North Beach Elementary 
  • Viewlands Elementary 
  • Whittier Elementary 
  • Whitman Middle School 
  • Licton Springs K-8 
  • Salmon Bay K-8 
  • Ballard High School  

Working with Seattle Public Schools to bring more arts access to schools is a top program priority. This is an amazing way to celebrate The Creative Advantage partnership. The impact of artists in the schools and arts education access to students, family and community build One Seattle.

The Creative Advantage Implementation team’s November meeting at the Greenwood branch of The Bureau of Fearless Ideas, a Creative Advantage arts partner, with Whitman K-12 Pathway principals created a new K-12 continuum, envisioning an arts program that starts in Kindergarten and continues through 12th grade. Planning included a focus on racial equity data at the nine schools and arts access data in the pathway. From there, the principals developed an arts vision for the next five years to ensure a high-quality continuum of arts learning for all students and that ensures students of color, furthest from educational and arts justice, have access to thriving in the arts. The vision points include:  

  • Increased and equitable funding for arts  
  • Teacher support for high-quality instruction  
  • Arts as the pulse through integrated arts learning  
  • Students having voice, choice, and agency  
  • Regional arts collaboration, connection, and celebration

 The Creative Advantage Implementation Team is honored to partner with principals and teachers who are committed to artists in the schools and arts education, and value student voice and community input to center the arts in diverse ways that supports student, teacher, and school needs.

Using this definition ensures that comprehensive, sequential, and predictable arts learning from kindergarten through high school. With the Whitman K-12 Pathway, The Creative Advantage is now in 90 out of 106 schools in the Seattle Public School District.

The Creative Advantage and Public Art teams in the ARTS office, joined forces with curators and artists Anouk Rawkson, Jordan Christianson, and other IMMINENT MODE: US artists to host a special all-ages workshop centered on the immersive exhibition that pairs-built environments with one-of-a-kind fashion on view at ARTS at King Street Station.

The event held on December 3 was a rousing multi-generational success. The gallery was full of participants who explored the exhibition and engaged in hands-on activities led by some of the featured exhibition artists.

The workshop titled Who Are You? encouraged identity reflection through writing prompts, button-making, and a coloring book related to the exhibition. The coloring book includes a blank mannequin that gallery viewers can use to create their own looks based on inspiration from the show or their own identities and interests. More than 30 participants ranging from preschoolers to grandparents in their late 70’s explored the exhibition, enjoyed cookies, created works in the coloring books, and commented on each other’s sketches and color choices. A big thank you to everyone who was able to attend.

Visitors can download a pdf of the coloring book to print and color at their convenience. There are also coloring books in the gallery. Visitors are welcome to come by anytime during gallery hours to pick one up and have a coloring session in ARTS at King Street Station after experiencing the exhibition!

On December 1, school leaders and arts partners gathered at the Seattle Asian Art Museum (SAAM) on a snowy Thursday evening in Volunteer Park for The Creative Advantage: Re(Igniting) Joyful Partnerships event. After offering virtual and limited in-person programming during the pandemic, The Creative Advantage, now in its 10th year, continues its focus on restoring access to the arts for all students in Seattle Public Schools through community-based partnerships with diverse and exceptionally talented artists across the city.

This year’s Community Arts Partnerships event theme was JOY! As was evident on the faces of folks coming into the space to see arts-learning peers in-person, reunited after virtual years apart. The evening began with incredible student performances from Seattle Youth Symphony Orchestra and students from the MY Southeast program led by conductor Kim Roy. A brief overview of The Creative Advantage and introduction of the newest team member, SPS project manager Rayna Mathis.

The night continued on with the sweetest game of “speed friending”, after-hours walks through SAAM’s beautiful galleries, and finally, round table discussions led by The Creative Advantage teachers and arts partners Silvio dos Reis, Julie Trout, Elaine Dondoyano, and Sumayya Diop. Before we knew it, the night was over, but energy was still crackling in the air. Truly, a joyful event indeed. A delicious buffet was catered by Shooby Doo Catering; special thanks to arts partner Seattle Art Museum for hosting the festivities.

On August 18, more than 125 community arts educators and teachers flooded into the Seattle Art Museum to attend The Creative Advantage Summer Institute.

Russell Brooks and Nicole Suyama from Red Eagle Soaring Native Youth Theatre opened the main program in the Plestcheef Auditorium, reminding all guests of our responsibility to the land we’re on, the native people of this area, and the 2015 passage of Senate Bill 5433 requiring the Since Time Immemorial: Tribal Sovereignty in Washington State or other tribally-developed curriculum be taught in all schools. 

Youth Poet Laureate Sah Pham recited a powerful piece created just for the occasion, encouraging all the educators to remember what’s at stake in our classrooms. An excerpt:

I am grateful for you
Teachers, educators, shipmakers
lifeguarding without limitation
drifting us onto better days
boats big enough to carry our dreams to shore
It is because of this port language,
That I arrive at this pier
Where the same hands before me held nothing
The boatful of stars I hold are burning

So that when I look up
I see that I have everything

Thank you, Cảm ơn
for this artful education.
without you
I could not have held up this sky
Long enough to paint it blue.

Acting Director of the Office of Arts & Culture royal alley-barnes and Seattle Public Schools Executive Director of Partnerships and Engagement James Bush, lauded the accomplishments and progress of The Creative Advantage in it’s 10 year history, and reaffirmed their institutional commitments to this important city-wide arts education partnership.

The Creative Advantage Implementation Team is beyond grateful to kick off the school year in the company of all the arts leaders who collaborated and attended, making the day a rousing success. Here’s what participants had to say:

“Every part of the Institute was centered on JOY and inclusion which also invigorated me to take that to my students this year.”

“It was overall just amazing to be in a room with other arts educators and art education champions. I feel so energized and excited after the institute!”

“The movement workshop reminded me how important it is to bring the physical into a day of learning. The music workshop gave me a wonderful framework for exploring my own identity as well some tools for helping my students explore theirs.”

“I came wondering about the state of arts learning in SPS and hoping to connect with local teaching artists. So, I was really glad to hear the info in the speaking program and for the networking opportunities. The workshops were delightful…I came out feeling refreshed and inspired.”
